Famous former boxer Johnny Nelson names the five strongest fighters in the division.
Former world champion Johnny Nelson picks the five best heavyweight boxers of today.
The specialist put the two-time absolute champion, the Ukrainian Alexander Usik, in first place.
“The top three are now Joshua, Fury and Usyk, Alexander taking into account recent performances, Anthony is number 2, and number 3 is Tyson.
My rating is based on what we see. Just yesterday Joshua wasn’t taller than Fury, but now he’s taller. People need to put aside their blind allegiance to Fury and start watching the fights.
Zhang Zhilei is also in the top 5 because of her good matches recently. I would add Joseph Parker to the list. Just look at his results! And then Bakole, who can easily get into the top 5, he can easily beat Parker. The real test for Martin will be the fight against Zhillei. Then we’ll see how good a boxer he is,” Seconds Out quotes Nelson as saying.
We remind you that the rematch between Usik and Fury is scheduled for December 21 in the capital of Saudi Arabia, Riyadh.
Earlier, Usik recounted what his wife told him during the fight with Fury.
